How long?

[gregr266]

How long can you have a primed case ready for the powder charge and bullet sitting around before you actually set the charge. Ive gotten ahead of myself and have more cases ready for powder but dont have any more powder right now.

Thanks.

Kepp the spiders out and it will last a long time. I keep primed brass in plastic containers with lids for..........a long time. Plastic bag with a little dessicant bag in it will last almost indefinitley...

For as long as you can store the primers themselves. For example, I've used lots of 30+ year old primers during my reloading career. Keep the primed brass in a cool, dry place and they'll probably be good for as long as you're around to load them.
